This is an interesting take. A lot of the big artists these days (Doja Cat, Megan thee Stallion, Charli XCX, to name a few) all heavily sample.

In some cases the new hits have multiple levels of sampling; Latto’s Big Energy has a remix with Mariah Carey’s Fantasy, and both sample Tom Tom Club’s Genius of Love. Charli XCX interpolates both Hey Mickey and Robyn for her new song from the Barbie movie.

They have the money to pay the bills. They're all either plants or giants.

The barbie soundtrack has a massive budget so you can just pay for the samples.

There are entire genres (hip hop, reggaeton, dancehall, etc.) that have sampling built into their DNA, and are still going strong, even outside the big acts. And they are still sampling, it's far from dead.
